Florida developer eyes commercial space on India Street
The cozy, eclectic neighborhood of India Street in Portland is about to see three more planned buildings from the Portland Norwich Group LLC, with offices in Florida and New Hampshire.
The development would involved nearly an entire block bounded by India, Thames, Hancock and Fore streets, according to the Portland Press Herald.
Their heights would range from 50 feet to 77 feet.
In the fall of 2015 the same developer got approval to build a $20 million, six-story hotel with top-floor condominiums, according to an earlier Press Herald story.
The newspaper said plans filed with the city’s Historic Preservation Board, as it is within 100 feet of a historic district, show a seven-story building with office and retail uses on Fore Street and a six-story building with residences and retail on Thames Street. Plans also call for a four-story residential-retail building on India Street.
India Street has been a hotbed of development recently. In February, Mainebiz wrote about local developer Chip Newell proposing a six-story, $8 million Luminato Condominium with 26 units priced from $200,000 to $400,000. And in March, Mainebiz wrote about a Boston-based developer who filed plans to construct a four-story building with three ground-level retail stores and residential condominiums on the three upper stories.
